Pages : 112
Book Description
Do you really and truly believe that you or any other human being can remain absolutely committed to another for the rest of their lives when they couldn't remain committed to themselves and I am not necessarily talking about infidelity. Go to the mirror and fully scrutinize yourself. Do you see any extra pounds you may have put on because you couldn't remain committed enough to yourself to put down that extra piece of cake. Do you recall lying to yourself about quitting smoking. What about that exercise regime that you lied to yourself about. The first and most important thing in life is to realize and recognize the fact that we are humans first and live within that knowledge and do the very best we can. Each partner must come to know that we are all human and will therefore do humanely things. We must therefore respect some of the weaknesses of our partner.

Pages : 557
Book Description
Hope is hard to come by in the hard-luck town of Willow Creek. Sam Pickett and five young men are about to change that. Sam Pickett never expected to settle in this dried-up shell of a town on the western edge of the world. He's come here to hide from the violence and madness that have shattered his life, but what he finds is what he least expects. There's a spirit that endures in Willow Creek, Montana. It seems that every inhabitant of this forgotten outpost has a story, a reason for taking a detour to this place--or a reason for staying. As the coach of the hapless high school basketball team (zero wins, ninety-three losses), Sam can't help but be moved by the bravery he witnesses in the everyday lives of people--including his own young players--bearing their sorrows and broken dreams. How do they carry on, believing in a future that seems to be based on the flimsiest of promises? Drawing on the strength of the boys on the team, sharing the hope they display despite insurmountable odds, Sam finally begins to see a future worth living. Author Stanley Gordon West has filled the town of Willow Creek with characters so vividly cast that they become real as relatives, and their stories--so full of humor and passion, loss and determination--illuminate a path into the human heart.

Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
Where is Western culture going? What should Christians think about it? Those who already ask these questions often come up with confused answers. Those who do not are, arguably, living in a fool's paradise (or a fool's hell.) In this second edition of Subversive Christianity, Brian Walsh returns to the themes of cultural discernment that he unpacked more than twenty years ago. In a new Postscript, Walsh revisits Francis Fukuyama, Bruce Cockburn, and the prophet Jeremiah and asks, Where are we now? In light of 9/11 and the world economic crisis of 2008, how do we discern the times, and what does that discernment tell us about the calling of the church?
